A Night in the Bush

Feeling Gloomy at The Phoenix, Sat Sep 6

Feeling Gloomy is a club night where sensitive souls can come together and share their melancholy and love of all things sad. It has found another defeat to celebrate — the failure to score tickets to Kate Bush’s live shows — so is holding a night in Kate's honour, promising to play all her best hits.

On the first night of Kate’s comeback gigs at Hammersmith Apollo, head in the opposite direction to Hackney and join Amy Grimehouse, the irreverant club night that revels in cult music, film and art, for the subtly named F*ck! I Didn’t Get Kate Bush tickets. Celebrating all things Bush – the music, the videos, the dancing – it promises random Kate-inspired performance, installations and photo opportunities, as well as screenings of her short film the Line, the Cross and the Curve.

With Kate-themed DJ sets, 'Baboozeka' cocktails, a Miss Wuthering Heights dance-off and prizes for the best Bush outfit, Night of a Thousand Bushes promises to indulge your desires for all things Kate. And you can practise your wafting at a Wuthering Heights dance class earlier on in the evening.

Dreaming of Kate is a tribute band headed by performer Maaike Breijman, who stands in for the Wuthering Heights warbler. She makes numerous costume changes and peforms dance routines in an effort to channel the spirit of Kate. Close your eyes and pretend you're at Hammersmith.

There will only ever be one Kate Bush – but the longest-running UK tribute band Cloudbusting may go some way to providing the live experience you’re craving. Performing tracks from all eras of her back catalogue they might just be the closest you’re going to get.

If none of the above appeals, take the reins and throw your own Kate Bush evening, starting with a viewing of the BBC’s new documentary and ending with warbling renditions of your favourite Bush tracks. Fancy dress is optional but recommended.
